Question for Chautauqua Airlines Pilots

[DenverDude2002]

I dont go as far as getting signatures for every flight although I do like to at least say hi to the pilots. I also am one of those passengers that tries to avoid making flight crew mad. I've read 2 books written by flight attendants (Plane Insanity and Around the World in a Bad Moode) and I realize what they go through on a day to day basis and how not to give them to many probs.

DenverDude:

You're welcome on our flights anytime (AirTran). Bring a camera- we'll get your picture in the cockpit, or in front of it, depending on how busy we are.

We do this pretty often for aviation enthusiasts. After all, nearly all of us got into this because we love airplanes and flying. When you fly for a living, though, it is easy to get caught up in the minutiae and forget how much we love it.

I like looking down on the ATL skyline as we are joining a 10,000 ft downwind, looking out towards the Appalachians, and, finally, down at those cars stuck in traffic going to/from work, and I usually say out loud to whoever I am flying with, "You know, this job does not suck".

OMG, how did you hear about that? I thought it was just an internal Comair/DC Academy thing. I guess the duck is becoming famous. It all started with the free ducks given out by AFLAC...and a Commercial office full of managers with a sense of humor.

He's still flying. Has his own ramp badge, uniform, wings, logbook, and even costumes for all the holidays. He can be heard on the radio in the practice areas around Orlando. His biggest accomplishment was flying a Cathay Pacific 777 to Hong Kong but he is master of all aircraft.
